find directories in the current directory, older than 5 days and archive them
- by user197284
This is basic questions. I need to find folders in the current working directory(not recursively) and if they are older than 5 days archive them. zip or tar.gz is fine.
I can find the folders with following commands
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type d -mtime +5
And i know i can pass this output of the find using xargs. But i do not know how to archive…
